Which would you buy and why? I will be in the market to buy one within a year. I ruled out the GT-R because of maintenance costs, the IS-F cuz it's kinda boring, and the Germans mainly because of reliability.

Both the NSX and C6 Z06 are similarly priced, pretty reliable, and I already own an mkiv supra, just interested to hear opinions....

I posted about RX7 vs. 240sx a couple months ago and ended up with an SC400 (240sx fell through). Don't regret that at all! The SC400 is the hidden gem of Lexus nowadays

NSX
But you should get the Z06, since you think IS-F is boring... and GT-R because of "maint" costs

nsx would be my choice too

wow you have so many 2 seater sports car. Are you sure the IS-F is that boring to you...

I will end up selling the SC400 and my '87 Trans Am GTA to make room for the NSX / Z06. Then I will be driving the Supra and NSX / Z06 for spring, summer, and fall. I currently have a 2001 Prelude with 8,000 miles as my winter beater, and the wifey has a GLK350.

As for the IS-F, i think it is somewhat bland. I had an old GS400 that I felt had more character than the IS-F. My wife feels the same way about her GLK350...she wants her old RX400h back! Must be something about those last-gen lexus vehicles. But I prefer the LS600hL over the IS-F, which is on my hit list in several years when I get tired of my superslow prelude.

NSX for me as well. C6 Z06 will have more power and be faster, but there is just something about driving mid engine car. Just a totally different driving feel and experience. I make it a point to drive the NSX at least 2-3 times a week.

NSX, I know people with the Z06 and it's a wonderful machine and a lot you can do with it, but the NSX is probably going to be more in with what you have had in the past.

I'd go with the NSX because it's a rare beauty.

The 'Vette.

NSX is too ricer now. The 'Vette is more undercover.

Either or, make sure they weren't abused by previous owners.

NSX because of the rarity. The only think I dont like about NSX's is because it shares the same engine as a TL. A NSX w/ a comptech s/c and all the other goodies will be badass. And may I ask how you think a ISF is boring?

ISF is "boring" but you want an LS600hL?

Nsx, i see like 20+ vettes a day and rarely see nsxes

GQD_GS4

I feel like the IS-F doesn't carry the presence that the LS600hL / NSX / Z06 has. And the IS-F is automatic, which doesn't help its case. I will be looking for a manual NSX, and the Z06 only comes in manual. When I stand next to an NSX, I whisper to myself "dammm." When I see a murdered out Z06....I fear the assassin lol. But when I stand next to the IS-F it only draws a "that's sweet" from me. Meanwhile, the LS600hL strikes me as the pinnacle of achievement. I might have wanted an IS-F before I got my supra (my supra is automatic). But I'm currently in the market for manual, and even then when I think about it....when I park my supra next to an IS-F, I will take my supra any day!

Idk how else to explain it.

Head on over to nsxprime and read up on the comparisons.

Many owners there have/had both

I sat in one (vette) and couldn't get out fast enough
However, it's damn fast, but that was it

GQD_GS4

I am leaning towards the NSX. CK6Spd and GS3Tek, what is it about driving your NSX that makes you keep your car over something newer and faster?
